Assessment in Primary Science by Amber Bee https://padlet.com/avril_rowley/f2mppxe3harkjgev Use this board to upload your own KWL grid to show your current understanding of assessment in primary science and what you would like to know about it. (We will revisit this at the end of the session to add what you have learned from the the materials). You can represent the KWL grid in any way you wish - eg you could draw this on paper and upload an image, make a table on your PC then upload this or just type straight into the box using the correct headings. en-us 2021-09-23 10:10:02 UTC 2021-11-07 12:48:35 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4e1.png KWL rachaelcampbell45 https://padlet.com/avril_rowley/f2mppxe3harkjgev/wish/1802777491 Know
-Assessment can take place in many different ways.
-This can include questioning; writing reports; producing a final piece such as a news report or PowerPoint; designing an experiment.
-Assessment must be based on learning objectives which match the programme of study from the national curriculum

Want to know
- Different approaches to assessment in science.

What learned
-Need to assess both working scientifically and content.
-Forms of assessment can include discussion, recording, investigating, observing, writing, drawing, presenting.
- De Bono's thinking hats allows children to explore a range of perspectives
- Floor books can provide evidence of progression in learning and are a good working resource.
- Self assessment can be useful if children are aware of learning outcomes.
- Concept cartoons can challenge children to think about the concept and to investigate why the right answer makes sense.]]> 2021-10-08 15:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/avril_rowley/f2mppxe3harkjgev/wish/1802777491 KWL https://padlet.com/avril_rowley/f2mppxe3harkjgev/wish/1865322072 Know
-Assessment can take many shapes or forms, open discussion, questioning, written work. 

what to know.
What assessments would be particularly relevant for science so children do not have the negative attitude that it is more written work. 

Learned. 
Science assessment does not have to be written work. It can be in the form of recording students, observations, children assessing their own work, floor books etc. 

Assessment is not to grill someone but rather work with them to help them understand

De Bonos thinking hats allows children to think further and consider all aspects of the learning objective. 

Concept cartoons challenge the children's mis concepts while having a positive starting starting point for a class or grouped investigation

- summative assessment
- marking accurately 
- written feedback 
- formative assessment 

(W) 
What can be used as other assessment resources? 
- e.g. concept maps, knowledge surveys etc. 

(L) 
- In assessment you're expected to sit with the learner. This implies it is something we do ‘with’ and ‘for’ learners and not ‘to’ learners. 
- Two separate science tests, to assess understanding of scientific ideas and the use of scientific evidence. 
- New science assessment frameworks - contains a number of 'pupil can' statements. ]]> 2021-11-05 10:31:33 UTC https://padlet.com/avril_rowley/f2mppxe3harkjgev/wish/1869640283 KWL Grid - Nadine Rycroft https://padlet.com/avril_rowley/f2mppxe3harkjgev/wish/1869667698 Know:

That there are many different forms of assessment. 
Summative assessment 
Formative assessment 
Marking
Think Pair Share
Want to know-
What is the most effective type of assessment for primary science and how to use assessment.
Learned-
Assessment should be varied. You should use a variety of assessments based on what you are teaching and how. Science frameworks assess working scientifically and knowledge. Assessment should be working with the children.

Different ways of assessing children:
Summative and Formative assessment, questioning, open discussion, think-pair-share.

Want to know:

Which is the most effective form of assessment? 

Learned:

Children need to be aware of and understand learning outcomes so that they can know what is expected of them. 

Concept cartoons can challenge misconceptions and encourage open discussion.

Thinking hats allow children to think for themselves, explore different perspectives and switch thinking styles to broaden ideas and thinking. ]]> 2021-11-05 12:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/avril_rowley/f2mppxe3harkjgev/wish/1869762645 KWL- Shane Parsons https://padlet.com/avril_rowley/f2mppxe3harkjgev/wish/1869765556 Know

Want to Know
What is good teaching practice for assessment in Primary Science?
How often should we assess the students?
What are the most effective ways of assessing in Primary Science?
Learned
Teacher use the assessment ‘Pupils can’ for feedback. There are so many fun ways to assess students E.g., Model making, concept maps, positive, minus, interesting, Kahoot, Big Questions, pictures for talk. Subject leader self-evaluation form, Teachers can assess themselves so they can improve their Primary science educating.
There are so many resources out there for teachers to guide them in assessing their students. 
Teachers should asses their students regularly and keep note.

Learnt- 
- concept cartoons are based on a constructivist view.
- 'pupils can' statements for feedback 
- Floor books are better for younger learners and low level writing ability.

- Summative and formative assessment.
- Written and verbal feedback.


Want to Know:
- Are there any additional assessments now?
- What are the specific assessments?

Learned:
- There is no longer a SATs test of science, instead there are two tests which test pupils’ understanding of scientific ideas and the use of scientific evidence. 
- Pupils need to be aware of misconceptions and those should be understood.
- Pupils should be assessed regularly.]]> 2021-11-07 12:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/avril_rowley/f2mppxe3harkjgev/wish/1872663593
